Agentic Retail Payments - When AI Agents Execute Transactions Autonomously | エージェント型リテール決済──AIによる自律的取引を前提とする決済の未来

As Japan moves deeper into a “do it for me” style of economy, retail payments are beginning to shift from transactions initiated directly by consumers to payments executed on their behalf. Digital services are increasingly being authorised to manage recurring bills, subscriptions, travel arrangements, and everyday purchases – selecting merchants, initiating payments, and operating directly on real-time payment infrastructure.
This roundtable examines the transition from direct consumer action to delegated execution, and the implications this shift has for policy, consumer protection, and payments infrastructure. Using a realistic Japanese retail use case as its foundation, the discussion explores what changes when transactions are carried out without an explicit, real-time action by the consumer, including emerging risk profiles, new avenues for misuse, and evolving regulatory considerations.
Participants will consider the core questions that payment providers, regulators, and market operators now need to address: who is recognised as the payer when execution is delegated; how authority, limits, and revocation should be structured and enforced; where liability sits when delegated arrangements are misused or result in consumer harm; and what forms of evidence are required to support disputes, refunds, and redress. Set against the backdrop of Japan’s instant payment infrastructure, the session aims to outline practical policy and market considerations for enabling delegated retail payments at scale, while maintaining trust, efficiency, and strong consumer protection.

日本で「おまかせ型」のサービスが広がるなか、リテール決済は、消費者が自ら実行する取引から、代理で実行される決済へと移り始めています。定期請求やサブスクリプション、旅行の手配、日々の買い物に至るまで、デジタルサービスが利用者から権限を受け、加盟店の選定や支払いの実行を担い、即時に処理される決済システムを通じて直接取引する事例が増えているのです。

本ラウンドテーブルでは、消費者による直接操作から代理実行への移行に焦点を当て、この変化が政策、消費者保護、決済インフラにどのような影響をもたらすのかを検討します。日本のリテール領域における具体的なユースケースを起点に、消費者の明示的かつリアルタイムな操作を伴わずに取引が実行される場合、何が変わるのかを議論します。新たに顕在化するリスク、不正利用の可能性、そして変化しつつある規制上の論点を整理します。

議論では、決済事業者、規制当局、そして決済インフラの運営機関が直面する核心的な問いにも踏み込みます。代理実行の場合、誰が「支払者」と認識されるのか。権限や限度額、取消しの仕組みはどのように設計し、執行すべきか。不正利用や消費者への被害が発生した際、責任はどこに帰属するのか。紛争解決や返金、救済措置には、どのような証拠が必要となるのか。

日本の即時決済インフラを背景に、本セッションでは、信頼性や効率性、強固な消費者保護を維持しながら、委任型リテール決済を大規模に展開するための政策と市場の制度設計の両面での実務的課題を整理します。
